“Little by little we get used to hearing and seeing, through the media, the black chronicle of contemporary society, presented almost with perverse enjoyment and we also get used to touching it and hearing it around us and in our own flesh,” he wrote. “The drama is in the street, in the neighborhood, in our home, and, why not, in our heart.”

“Rend your hearts, not your garments, artificial penance without guarantees for the future,” he continued.

“Rend your hearts, not your garments, formal and fulfilled fast which continues to keep us satisfied. Rend your hearts, not your garments, superficial and egoistic prayer which does not reach the depth of our life to allow it to be touched by God.”
